"For there are two rules to keep at the ready--that there is nothing good or bad outside my own reasoned choice, and that we shouldn't try to lead events but to follow them."

It's not about attempting perfect discrimination between events you can and cannot change.
It's about reducing your ego - to stop trying to control / change ALL events, and the realization that you're largely along for the ride.
This in no way implies you shouldn't put effort into reasoned choice - but that you need to learn acceptance, and that you are an actor in this show of life not the Director
